Greetings,
   I recently attended Neal Kinseys Advanced Soil Fertility workshop in PA 
and would like to pass on a few things that would be of interest to some in 
the group. Neal is a world wide soil consultant who works with all kinds of 
crops. Grapes,berries,corn, timber,pasture,beans,tomatoes.......
   He works with very large berry growers in California. He says when he 
keeps the boron levels in the soil at 1.5ppm and the copper at 12-15ppm rust 
is no longer a problem. This is of course using his labs results,however, 
most labs are fairly consistent with the trace elements. This cant be said 
for major elements. There is much variation between different labs.
